Er, well, I hadn't read Judy's theory when I posted, due to posting 
delay. So please don't think I was trying to steal Judy's thunder. 
Great minds think alike :-) I was mostly just trying to come up 
with a Snape/Lily theory that didn't require Severus to come over 
all mushy. :-)

  The theories are slightly different, as I think of Snape as far too 
proud to take anything he didn't think he had *earned* in some 
way.  I would never imagine Snape even trying to convince 
Voldemort that he would use Imperius or potions to coerce a 
woman.

 I don't think it would have to be too dark, though, for Harry to 
discover that his mother and Snape had some history. JKR is 
able to suggest some quite dark things without ever being 
explicit. Turning Mrs. Roberts upside down, for example, and 
having Draco say that Hermione was in like danger of showing 
her knickers to the world.

I could see Voldemort taunting seventeen year old Harry at some 
point and saying, "I don't believe I've ever told you why I offered to 
spare your mother's life. Severus wanted her. Loved her, I 
suppose, if you want to call it that. No, Severus is not really nice. 
You had better leave him to me." though JKR would probably not 
steal  from Tolkien quite so directly.
